![]() Just for clarification: the store closes during certain periods in the year, this usually includes Chinese New year. But if you have any trouble, reach out to the owner, Simon, is very willing to help you out. I don’t think there is an official warranty for Convoy products. They are available at convoy’s store at Aliexpress, and if you don’t see them in their shop, just send them an email. The MCPCB (LED board) is 16mm in diameter.Īnd the great thing about this all is that you can find replacement parts very easily. This will give you access to the LED, which you can easily replace with another LED (and mcpcb) without too much trouble. The tailcap switch is easily accessible, and the pill (plus driver and LED board) can be unscrewed from the head easily as well. There is no glue used on any of the parts. If you’re not used to doing any modifications to flashlights, and you’re interested in learning, or practicing your skills, get the Convoy S2+. Yes, it’s a very cheap flashlight, but no, it’s no bad quality at all.Īll parts can be unscrewed and are easily accessible, which makes it one of the nicest flashlights to start modding on. It’s strong enough for most use cases.Īll 3 parts of the flashlight have a traditional type of knurling, that helps to use the light, but also to unscrew it. Talking about the lanyard, if you don’t like using one, it’s very easy to remove. Of course, you can loop it through 1 hole, but the light won’t stand very stable on a flat surface. It’s recommended inserting the lanyard through both holes, instead of just 1, because of tailstanding. There are 2 lanyard holes that you can use to attach a lanyard. The tailcap has 2 cutouts that help you put your thumb on the switch, and operate the flashlight while holding it in an over-hand position. Once you find the output mode you want to use, fully press it till you hear a click. There’s another type of switch, which is referred to as a ‘forward clicky switch’ (this can be bought separately if you prefer this), and works as follows: when the light is turned off, you half-press the switch to run through the different modes. (You shouldn’t hear a click when changing modes) When the light is on, you can half-press the switch to change modes. It uses a reverse-click mechanical switch to operate the light.Ī reverse-clicky switch works as follows: fully press the switch till you hear a click, to turn the light on. This light has only 1 switch located at the tailcap. The longer I’m into this hobby, the more I Since there is so much talk and arguing about CRI, CCT, and DUV, I just want to test many LEDs to see what I personally prefer and if what people say, is actually true or not, or if we should take it with a grain of salt. I wanted to see which LED or which color temperature I personally prefer. This particular light was 1 of the 14 Convoy S2+ lights I bought, for comparing different LEDs. I’ll include an explanation of the UI later in this review. Fortunately enough, there are plenty of sources that can help you out on the internet, in case you don’t know how to make this work. I totally understand that Convoy doesn’t include any other accessories, but a simple UI description would have been nice. I have enough black flashlights, so I choose this one. The one I ordered uses 8*7135 chips, and it has grey anodization. But without tools, it’s still kind of hard to know, unless you can recognize the different parts that go with it. ![]() There’s a sticker on it, so you can check you received the correct version. It arrived in a plain white carton box, including a lanyard. But don’t expect to get any fancy packaging and accessories. The price this S2+ goes for, is about $15, and with that, you get lots of value for the money. But if you want to get an S2+, definitely take a look at this version with the Luminus SST20 LED, which is 4000K (neutral white) and has a CRI rating of 95. It can be had with so many options, that it’s nearly impossible to mention them all. The Convoy S2+ is a general-purpose light that is great for many use cases. So if you’re on the fence for a cheap eBay flashlight, stop! This is probably the best budget flashlight on the market that only flashaholics know about. ![]() What flashlight would you suggest to someone that has never had a ‘real’ flashlight?īecause it’s probably one of the ‘best bang for your buck’ lights on the planet.
